The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a red shaded region that is inside a square and outside a circle. The square has dimensions of 6x6, and the circle has a radius of 6. The tutorial uses the formulas for the area of a square and a circle to calculate the area of the shaded region. The area of the shaded region is determined by subtracting one-fourth of the circle's area from the square's area. The final result is an exact area of 36 - 9π square units, with a decimal approximation of 7.7257 square units.
